Defibrillators Save Lives, Reduce Liability Risk

By Greg Slusser, Lodging Hospitality

"A guest or employee suffering sudden cardiac arrest in your hotel must be treated within three to five minutes to have a good chance of surviving. The necessity of rapid "time to shock" is why a hotel should consider having automated external defibrillators (AED) on-site. Designed to save victims of sudden cardiac arrest-the leading cause of death in America-AED shock, or defibrillate, the heart back into normal rhythm. Up to 1,000 Americans die of sudden cardiac arrest each day."

To promote Automated External Defibrillators (AED) awareness, AED-Shop will educate the public by actively participating in Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) programs, town-hall meetings and community forums. Public access to defibrillation (PAD) means making Automated External Defibrillators (AED) available in public and/or private places where large numbers of people gather or where people who are at high risk for heart attacks live.

According to Wall Street Journal:

"Local emergency medical services average six to 12 minutes to arrive at a rescue scene, according to a nationwide study, and may be too late to help a sudden cardiac arrest victim. For example, in San Diego, only four percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims survived waiting for paramedics, while 74 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims receiving AED treatment on-site survived."

As a result of this initiative in the public and private places, AED-Shop will accomplish its goal of educating the community of the dangers of Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).
